My Mom Is Going Crazy Please Help Posted: 09-27-04 08:57am
Well my mom has been a smoker for about 30
yrs or so she just found out that she
might have cancer in her lungs but they
said it might be from her being sick with
a cold. Well she has gone 3 days witout a
cig and she is going crazy last night she
hit her self in the head with a hair spray
bottle and cause it to bleed really bad my
sister called 911 they said she would be
ok that she did not need steches. She is
thinking about stabing her self with a
knif to end the pain and she is going
crazy she said she is so depressed and she
does not know what to do. She said she
crys for no reason and my mom is the most
calm person and so full of life before she
quit smoking. This is not like my mom I
have been talking to her and leting her
know that I am proud of her and im
concered about her im trying to do the
best I can but sometimes I do not know
what to say to her. I told her to go to
the docter I said maybe they can put you
on a medication to help you quit and give
you some stuff for depression> I don't
know if she will or not. Is this normal
for my mom to be acting this way? Please
help I cry all the time I am so worried
about my mom I know how she feels I am a
smoker also and trying to quit but right
now im so stressed I can't. Please help
someone anyone ever get crazy when they
tried to quit and what do you do?

Your mother may be having symptoms due to
her withdrawal from nicotine. You should
go to a doctor, as there are ways to
replace that nicotine to avoid these
symptoms. Things such as nicotine gums,
patches and inhalers work well.
